John,
While pondering Daniel and our time regarding the 70th week I
was led to consider ritual sacrifice. For the
discernment of all, thank you.

Abominable sacrifice

I am becoming convinced that any ritual
sacrifice is now an
abomination to God.

The OT sacrifices were primarily a
foreshadowing of Jesus’
sacrifice for our redemption.This is
complete.Future
godly intervention in Israel is
likely to centrally include reference to Christ’s redeeming
victory and
authority.Will
the rapture occur
without (partial)Jewish recognition of Yeshua?Will the two witnesses testify for three and a half
years without a
mention of the Lion of Judah; or the King of Kings?Just what will be
the message of the 144,000;
evangelize the earth without mention of Jesus?

If the message of Jesus’ redemption and
victory is being
spoken, why would God WANT animal sacrifices?This would be
a denial of Christ.If God chooses to “punish” the Jews by
re-instituting the law, then so be it.I
am being led away from that idea.

In the past, I have believed a type of
law could be brought
by the two witnesses.I
no longer see
ritual sacrifices having spiritual value.The price is eternally paid.No
“punishment” will exceed the stress of the Great
Tribulation.

Imagine Jesus and God in heaven watching
an animal sacrifice
after giving God’s only begotten son, his body and blood, in
deep pain for the
meaningless substitute.Any future animal sacrifice in Judaism is more
likely to be a defiant act of a
wayward priesthood; an
abomination.
